Axis-Shield Lymphoprep

Axis-Shield Lymphoprep is a ready-to-use, sterile, and endotoxin-tested density gradient medium designed for the efficient isolation of human mononuclear cells, such as lymphocytes and monocytes, from blood samples. This medium facilitates the separation of these cells based on their lower buoyant density compared to erythrocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (granulocytes), ensuring high purity and viability of the isolated cells.

Key features and benefits:

• High purity and viability: Ensures the isolation of mononuclear cells with minimal contamination.
• Ready-to-use formulation: Sterile and endotoxin-tested, providing convenience and reliability.
• Cost-effective alternative: Comparable in performance to other premium media like Ficoll-Paque™, offering significant cost savings.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for isolating mononuclear cells from peripheral blood, cord blood, and bone marrow.
• Long shelf life: Stable for up to three years when stored properly.

Applications:

• Immunology research: Isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for various immunological studies.
• Stem cell research: Purification of mononuclear cells from cord blood for regenerative medicine applications.
• Clinical diagnostics: Preparation of pure lymphocyte suspensions for tissue typing and immunological assays.
• Biotechnology: Essential for molecular cloning workflows and widely adopted in synthetic biology research.

Commonly used in:

• University laboratories
• Biomedical research centres
• Clinical diagnostic labs
• Biotechnology companies

First introduced in 1968, Lymphoprep has been a trusted reagent in laboratories worldwide for over five decades and continues to be widely used in various research and clinical applications.
